Tony Montana posted:What do you think is inside an XBONE or PS4? Magic Sony and Microsoft hardware developed by a consumer electronics company and a software house or the same hardware developed by the world's leaders in virtual rendering except older and shittier because it's all packaged up in a nice consumer bundle? With that out of the way... We know that PSVR's display is roughly equal to a Rift DK2, but clocked at 120Hz instead of what, 75? It's a 1080p OLED providing 960x1080 per eye. We also know that the PS4 can't do 1080p60 in a lot of games just rendering plain old 2D, so 1080p120 at any kind of modern visual detail is right out. Finally we know that there's some kind of mystery processor that sits inline between the console and the headset. My guess, completely pulled out of my rear end, is that the PS4 will render at whatever framerate and resolution it can manage and do so with a very wide and heavily fisheyed FOV, possibly a full 360. Higher detail in the direction the console sees you looking at the time it's rendering the frame and lower out towards the edges. The mystery box will then take this image and internally render it on to a sphere inside which the virtual "camera" lives, and the resulting image gets delivered to the headset. That way you get the ability to look around and have your view get updated at 120Hz, but the quality may not be ideal the further off the initial point you're now looking until the PS4 catches up with the next frame. Again I'm completely guessing on that one, but I think it would work well enough to maintain the illusion, especially given the limited resolution. I'm definitely more on the "PC Master Race" side of things, my Xbone only exists for the exclusives I can't get anywhere else like Forza, but I do agree that PSVR is the best chance mass-market VR has any time soon so I hope they've managed to pull some magic with this to provide a decent experience. wolrah fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Jan 7, 2016 |

I'm going to be the idiot with all the VR headsets. I've been waiting for this poo poo my entire life, what's a couple grand to fulfill my childhood dreams of being a space rear end in a top hat? If I knew I liked open wheeled racers as a kid, I'd be all nostalgia drunk on that too. Anyway. gently caress the price, it's still cheaper than triples for me. I'm just excited it's finally almost here!

rF2 seems to have decided it completely wants to be an oval game at this point. They've added Richmond, Kentucky and Auto Club Speedways alongside a pretty big update to the stock cars and Indycar.

Good, that means I can safely ignore it. Fan in the T500 base sounds like a truck gearbox being ground to nothing, I just ignore it and turn my headset up and it gets quieter over time. I think I'm out of warranty so I'll bust it open and solder in a high quality fan from an electronics store if it fails. How can you put so much effort into making solid hardware and then cheap out on the drat fan?

It's the same with the CSW v2 rear fan. It's starts chirping like a bird. It wouldn't be that big of a deal except the fan is built into the case of the wheel base. You can't replace it with another fan.

If it's still got warranty then don't hack it, but you can't get that fan out of there? It's not moulded into the base, surely, just perhaps jammed in there somehow. Perhaps chop it up with some snips and then put in another fan of the same diameter. The connections should be simple, just a positive and negative.

Anyone interested in some SCE this weekend? Thinking Cascavel with Vees or Historic Montreal with V8s. Can we get more than 4 people together? Edit: Also finally got to try out the rF2 Flat6 mod. NOICE.

Unless you have load cell pedals, I would definitely recommend increasing your brake gamma. That should help you reduce lockups.

I don't really have issues locking up brakes except on the Mk1 Escort, and from the videos I've watched that seems to be a universal thing that it just doesn't have much give in the brake before you're locking up.

I really need to get SCE working with my wheel. The handling felt great with my g27. I was having pedal detection issues last time I tried. That was before I realized a light wind will disrupt the connection to the base.

Well they're both fun so that works out. RaceRoom is having a new years sale, half price on all but the most recent packs (Audi TT and Formula Raceroom) so this is probably a good time to get in and grab the track packs.

I kinda fell off of R3E, mostly because of the ongoing boat-ness of it. In other news, I think I figured out the AC server. Does one of you guys have time to do a quick test today?

AC server works. The hardest part was actually figuring out how to connect myself via Loopback. No idea how it'll hold up under stress, bandwith and CPU should be enough but I'm wary of trusting my ISP issued router. Anyway, proposal: Assetto Corsa: Sunday, 17th, 8PM (20:00) GMT. Choices: 1) Lotus 25 at Bridgehampton (My preference, but DLC car and mod track.) 2) DTM (E30,190E,Alfa155) at Zandvoort 3) GT3 at Mugello Let's see if AC pulls more people, apparently SCE is not pretty enough for your precious time GhostDog fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Jan 14, 2016 |

Also AC doesn't work with DLC mismatches, if the DLC is being used on the server everyone has to have the DLC even if they're not using it themselves.

Well, DTM absolutely requires Dream Pack 1, but I'm going to have to assume everybody has that. Not sure about 2 and 3 though, and those contain a few of the newer GT3 cars.
